According to Sule Lamido, a former governor of Jigawa state, President Bola Tinubu was among those who favored the annulment of the June 12, 1993, presidential election.

Lamido made this claim on Saturday during an appearance on Arise TV.

He claims that Hajia Mogaji, Tinubu’s mother, arranged for market women from Lagos to travel to Abuja and support Ibrahim Badamosi Babangida, the president at the time.

Furthermore, according to Lamido, the National Democratic Coalition, NADECO, was established to support the late General Sani Abacha rather than June 12.

He said: “I feel highly entertained by Tinubu’s rhetoric, the way he’s dramatising his role in Nigeria’s democracy.

“Tinubu became relevant and noticeable after Abacha took over the government; before then, he was in the senate while he was the secretary of the party.

“He was part of those who supported IBB’s annulment of the June 12 election.

“His own mother Hajia Mogaji was organising Lagos market women to come to Abuja to pledge support for Babangida.

“Tinubu was actively hand-in-glove with Babangida. NADECO was postulation formation to fight Abacha not for June 12.”

Bashorun MKO Abiola won the election on June 12. However, Babangida later revoked it.
